Nightmare Attack

Chen Xiaomeng's pace gradually slowed down, but she always stayed within the light range. She also noticed something strange and wondered whether it was a trap set by ghosts.

Hold your breath, the huge buildings are so close, and all the scenes in front of you are only a dark black outline, as if they may move on their own at any time.

As the people got closer and closer, Zhou Rong suddenly heard a strange sound.

"Swish, swish, swish"

It sounded like cloth rubbing against branches or stones.

He followed the sound and after a few seconds, his slightly narrowed eyes suddenly widened.

Under the corner, there is a face that is tightened as much as possible and full of wrinkles!

Jiangcheng Chen Xiaomeng also noticed the abnormality at the same time.

At this moment, Pei Gan no longer looked as enigmatic as before. His eyes were bloodshot, and he covered his mouth tightly with both hands, hiding in the corner, shivering.

But fortunately, it seems that no injuries have been found except for some dirt on his body.

In other words, there is someone else who smells of blood.

Pei Qian's eyes were fixed on one place. Jiang Cheng moved the kerosene lamp and shined it in the direction Pei Qian was looking at, which was the window sill.

There was a small tree in front of the window sill. The small tree was broken in the middle, and the exposed part was extremely sharp.

At this moment, a corpse was strung upside down on a tree. The sharp parts were pierced through the mouth, the lower body was penetrated, and the abdomen was completely cut open. The organs were mixed with blood dripping down. The scene was very tragic.

It's Jiang Zhongyi

He still held a rough wooden cross tightly in his lowered hand, which was now stained red with blood.

From time to time blood dripped along the cross.

Zhou Rong couldn't help being stunned.

The scene in front of him was filled with a strong color of religion. If it were not for his nightmare, he would even think that he had returned to the dark medieval Europe.

Due to the angle, they couldn't see Jiang Zhongyi's eyes.

Zhou Rong slowly raised his head and found that the windows on the second floor of the building had been smashed, leaving only some wooden structures protruding outwards.

It looked like Jiang Zhongyi jumped out of the second-story window and was unlucky enough to be pierced by a tree.

But this was a nightmare, and Jiang Zhongyi was not an idiot.

Pei Qian, who gradually recovered, explained what happened to everyone.

About half an hour ago, the person sent by the village chief to deliver food arrived. He was the dark man from before. The man didn't talk much and just put down his things and left. But Pei Qian noticed something strange.

It was almost dark at that time. After the man brought the meal, it would be difficult to get back before dark.

The villagers' fear of night has reached the point where they can't even talk about it.

Pei Qian did not make any noise, but asked Li Lu to stay, and then took Jiang Zhongyi with him on the pretext of going out for a walk. The two followed the man to see what was going on.

As expected, the dark man went around in a circle and returned to the yard through a very hidden gap in the fence.

Then he walked straight towards the abandoned building, then followed a window and climbed into the building.

Seeing this scene, Pei Gan suggested going back first, and then waiting for everyone to meet up before making long-term plans.

But at that time, Jiang Zhongyi lost his temper. He insisted that this was a good time to find clues, and he would not miss the opportunity again.

Pei Qian couldn't resist him, so he could only negotiate that Jiang Zhongyi would go in to check, while he would stay outside to take care of it.

He also warned Jiang Zhongyi that if the situation goes wrong, he should evacuate quickly and put safety first.

At this point, there was a trace of regret in his eyes.

Several people directly regarded his words as farts.

Even if Jiang Zhongyi is such a coward, he wouldn't dare to go in by himself even if he had ten more courages. He must have been frightened by this old guy Pei Gan before he went in.

There must be no way to dispose of the body. If you want to take it away, you will probably have to saw off the tree.

After observing, several people decided to leave.

There is definitely something wrong with this lonely building.

After returning to the room, Li Lu couldn't help showing sadness on her face when she heard that Jiang Zhongyi was dead.

What's wonderful is that after hearing that the swarthy man had a problem, Li Lu looked blank, then seemed to suddenly realize something, rushed to the door, and vomited out.

The remaining people were not surprised.

After all, only Li Lu ate the food sent by the "man".

And it’s broth.

Jiang Cheng felt excited just thinking about it.

Yu Man leaned against the door. What happened one after another made her expression no longer calm. It had only been a day and a night since they entered the village, and they had already lost two teammates.

She went to another room to turn up the stove, and then brought back some charcoal.

Tonight everyone decided to get together.

There were three men and three women left, so the rooms were easy to allocate.

Jiang Cheng reluctantly took out a few steamed buns from his arms and looked Yu Man and Li Lu straight in the eye.

He originally planned to share half of it with each other, but before he could break it open with his hands, Chen Xiaomeng snatched it away.

So, it was changed to one per person.

Jiang Cheng groaned for a long time because of this.

"There must be something wrong with that building," Li Lu said with a pale face. After vomiting, she looked weak, as if she was going to faint in the next second.

Pei Gan sat cross-legged on the kang, shook his head and said, "I'm afraid it's not just the building that has a problem."

He raised his head and continued in a low voice: "Have you ever thought about the location and grandeur of this courtyard, who can live here?"

"A big family in the village," Chen Xiaomeng broke off a piece of firewood and threw it into the stove. She raised her head and said, "It's like the village chief Qian's family."

The rest are smart people who can tell the truth at a glance.

And after Jiang Zhongyi's accident, some people had already begun to doubt the origin of this courtyard.

Pei Qian just made it clear.

"If this is really the Qian family compound, then it makes sense why Zhao Xiangmei killed someone here," Li Lu said, "She probably regarded us as the Qian family."

What happened next was a bit subtle. The village chief did not tell them that this was the Qian family compound, nor did he remind them that living here would be risky.

If the speculation is confirmed, then the village chief's attitude is also questionable.

After all, according to the hotel owner in Anping Town, the "elegant people" who came to Anping Town disappeared inexplicably in the end.

And those people had lived here before.

Just like they are now.

At the end of the brief discussion, everyone concluded three doubts.

First: Who was the previous owner of this yard?

Second: Zhao Xiangmei’s true identity.

Third: Why did the ghost hang the corpse near Anping Town after killing people in the village?

They had already asked the village chief about the second and third questions, but did not get any valuable answers. However, it was impossible for the village chief to be unclear about the first question.

They plan to ask clearly when they meet with the village chief tomorrow.

In fact, there is another thing that everyone understands tacitly. There may be clues hidden in the huge building not far from the courtyard.
